America's favorite car - Chevrolet Impala 1967

The story that eventually led to the creation of the Chevrolet Impala 1967 model year began in the distant 1958 ... No, it's not like that, it's not so dry and impersonal about such beauty. So…

The story of this love began in that happy 1958, when the horrors of war were already forgotten, new ones were not foreseen, and industry was trying hard to make the life of a simple American better and more fun. It was this desire that pushed Chevrolet to create a luxury version of its, and a well-sold car, Bel Air. The average American thought, chewed the burger from only McDonald's then in fashion, and bought it. Sales of the new car quickly went up the hill, and the name was so fond of the consumer that soon received its own car, or rather the new car got its own name - Impala, Chevrolet named after an unknown African antelope. Chevrolet company in 1959 released a separate model not similar to Bel Air and has not lost. Beautiful, big, powerful. Just an American dream. Sales grew, the management joyfully rubbed his hands. Under the hood of the handsome man, either V6 or V8 was hidden, including a turbulent choice, which hid a cowboy from 315 selected horses under the pedal of the gas. The model turned out to be not just successful ... In the 59th the best-selling model of the Chevrolet brand, in the 60th the best-selling model of the United States of America. Is not this a success?

The third generation appeared in 1961. Popularity was still growing, until the appearance of Chevrolet Impala 1967 there were six long years, but the appearance was already similar. Strangely enough, the stock engine had less power compared to its predecessor (135 hp vs. 145 hp), but the top-end turbo-gauge gave out a whole 360 to the mountain.

The year 1965 came, the new Impala and a new record. The combination of the nature of "oil," the roominess and practicality of the family sedan as a result led to an absolute record sales of full-size sedans - more than 1 million copies. This despite the fact that all the varieties of the brand Chevrolet sold in that year, just over 1.6 million. America's favorite car.

Fresh car got a new, more aggressive design, a lot of technical novelties, and most importantly - Turbo Jet V8 engine, output power of 425 hp, which, about the horror, could be added more. And then, in the same year, the story makes a sort of curtsey, in the arena appears Impala Caprice, a luxury version of the Impala, which in 1966 became a separate model.

The year 1967. Chevrolet Impala undergoes restyling and until 1970, when the new generation came out, it does not change the appearance. Of course, we could continue the story further, because the fifth generation and sixth appeared, but I will not. Then there was the oil crisis, the deterioration in the quality of assembly, the struggle of the producer for survival and sunset, sunset.
